Vendetta Against Gop Is Real Story

June 13, 2001

There goes your liberal bias again! Your June 5 front page news story states "Florida vote unjust, panels says." It should have read, "Berry, a Gore supporter, hijacks panel and releases own report." The subhead read, "Voters treated unequally, report finds" should have read, "Governor ambushed by Democrat he appointed." The next subhead read, "Minorities most affected by errors." It should have read: "Berry releases final report to news agencies before the panel has any idea what was in it."

The articles should have been questioning how one person could steer the entire process and release the report without consulting other members of the panel, and should have questioned why the final report was made available to neither the other committee members, nor the governor before it was released.

Could the agenda be any more obvious?And yet, there's the Sun-Sentinel, printing an inflammatory article concerning a report apparently put forth by a Gore supporter. You got the story wrong. The only story here is a vendetta against the Republican Party, not the opinion of a "bipartisan panel," as your story's headlines suggest.
